    It's a long day for these guys when they start at 3pm. No dinner break, & they play from 3pm until 02.20, taking just 4 x 20 minute breaks after levels 2, 4, 6 & 8.
     
    It's the same for everyone, so I'm not saying it's unfair. Tough though to maintain a high level of concentration for so long, especially if you are gagging for a drink, or a wee.

    Getting tough now. Card dead and blinds ramping up. Down to 14k so need a cheeky double up soon!

    Last break of the day now in progress, then they play 2 more x 1 hour levels. 

    Blinds now go 800-1,600/100.

    MattPrawn came in to see me during the break & has 14,000, so time to do the Leif Force "gamble gamble".

    RektSai has not reported in, but I don't think he knows where the Media Centre is, so I'll wander down & take a look in a bit.

    The Amazon Room & Brasilia Rooms have been reserved for the Main Event today, so the Little One Drop has been relegated to the Pavilion Room.

    "Pavilion" shares the distinctions of being the biggest & by far the coldest of the 4 rooms in use. (Miranda, formerly the Poker Kitchen, is the 4th).
     
    Worse still, it is the furthest from the Media Centre - I'd say its approximately 3 miles, & it's uphill both ways.

    Actually, upon reflection, it's slightly less than 3 miles. Call it 300 yards. Still a long way though.

    OK, 150 yards.

    Thanks John.

    You still getting the lot in DYM's?

    I think that article you wrote all those years ago is partly responsible for the popularity of DYM's on Sky Poker.
     
    Not everyone likes them though - did you see that really weird thread?, HERE

    Very odd thread, almost making those who happen to enjoy DYM's have a guilty conscience.

    Whatever happened to freedom of choice, & each to their own?

    I think vegetables suck, but that does not mean they are bad.

    Thanks very much Tikay, I don't play anywhere near as much these days as had to get on with real life, unfortunately, such is the way :-)

    You would know about that though, really glad to see you are in good health again mate.

    Anyway, I'm hoping to pick it back up again, at least a little bit, all being well. Just easing myself in gently, as it were. I did see the thread, I agree it is quite odd. Perhaps sensibly, (unless I am misreading it), the second argument of the three in the original sentence was somewhat overlooked by the sensible out there.

    Hanging in there

    Our two intrepid survivor in Day 1B of the Little One Drop are really putting up a fight.

    Halfway through Level 9 (10 levels played today), both are still in there, giving their best.

    MattPrawn - 13,600

    RektSai - 16,000


    Not exactly bossing the tables, but I'm sure if they got the run of cards we all need they could run very deep in this.
     
    Only 17% of the Day 1A field survived, & the money bubble will go pop very early in Day 2 (Friday) imo. 

    Great performance by both of them.

    The much needed double up arrived. Up to 33k as we enter the last level.

      Hi Teeks, any news on Irish Rose. Also, how many runners today.
      PS. Supernova is fine, enjoyed the golf and then had a visit to the Belaggio and finished up in a bar in Palazzo, another good night.

    Hi Pommy.  rose played great but sadly went out around level 6.

    I've just had an accident and run my flush into quads. Got away from it but cost me 10k so down to c21k.

    And that, Ladies & Gentleman, is me done for the day.

    It's close to 2am, & my batteries are as flat as a cat on a motorway.
     
    Night all.
